A whole series of goals could present themselves right now. These include:

• restricting my caloric intake;
  
• exercising more;
• deciding that my weight and eating habits are ok.

However, I'm more concerned with the lifestyle changes that seem to support increasing weight over the last several years. These in particular include:

• tendencies to binge;
  
• tendencies to eat nutritionally dense snacks and fast foods (raisins, cheese) rather than cooking healthy meals and eating slowly.

Instead, I want to eat healthy food when hungry (neither starved nor full). I want to begin cooking good food on a regular basis. I want to find ways to counter my tendencies to finish leftovers on plates or in pans.
